Hydrogen fluoride CAS#7664-39-3
Hydrofluoric acid (HF) is an aqueous solution of hydrogen fluoride gas. At room temperature, it appears as colorless transparent to light yellow smoke liquid with pungent odor. It has a specific gravity of 0.98 which is slightly lighter than water. It has a boiling point of 19.4 °C, being highly volatile. It can release white smoke once placed in air. The aqueous solution containing less than 60% hydrogen fluoride appears as a colorless clear fuming liquid. Industrial products are usually aqueous solution containing 40 to 45% HF. It has pungent odor. It can react with sulfur trioxide or chlorosulfonic acid to generate fluoride sulfonic acid, and can react with halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, olefins, hydrocarbons to generate fluorine-containing organic compound. When being dissolved in water, it can produce highly corrosive acid, being medium-intensity acid. It is extremely smelly, being very toxic and is prone to cause ulceration when get touch with the skin with a severe extent being larger than any acids. If inhaled of its vapor, it can have fatal effects, thus strict attention should paid during usage.

Product Application Of Hydrogen fluoride CAS#7664-39-3
Cleaning cast iron, copper, brass; removing efflorescence from brick and stone, or sand particles from metallic castings; working over too heavily weighted silks; frosting, etching glass and enamel; polishing crystal glass; decomposing cellulose; enameling and galvanizing iron; increasing porosity of ceramics. Its salts are used as insecticides and to arrest undesirable fermentation in brewing. Also used in analytical work to determine SiO2, etc.
